Hiya lovely blogging buddies and how are we all today. Before I tell you about these cards, I just wanted to say an enormous thank you for all the wonderful comments of congrats that were left in my previous post, you've all made me feel so incredibly happy, you truly are such lovely girlies and thank you very much.

For todays cards I've used some of the gorgeous goodies that the fabby Tracy over at Dies to Dies For sent me to play with......(mmmmmmmmmm loving these papers), thank you luvly (((hugs)))

Well we are having a nightmare here, again. We're just about getting back to normal after those pesky squirrels ate through the water pipes in the loft resulting in three bedroom ceilings gushing with water and one ceiling completly falling down when would you believe it water has been flooding our downstairs toilet. Turns out we've had a burst pipe for goodness knows how long and all the water from the both upstairs bathrooms has ended up coming through the downstairs toilet, there's water everywhere. Rang insurance company they're sending someone out to dry the walls, floors etc but in the meantime hubby has pulled up the laminate flooring and the walls tiles....I tell you, it's like the house that blimming Jack built, there's always something going wrong here....boooo hoooooo....I've had enough.....anyone fancy doing a house swap....lol!!!! and to top it all my car is playing up and hubby's car only came out of the garage yesterday and the same problem is back this evening so it's going straight back to the garage first thing in the morning......why do these things always happen at the same time.....ok whinging over with....

Anyways, I shall pop back soon in the meantime luv 'n' hugs to you all

Can you imagine the surprise I got this morning when my Magnolia Ink magazine arrived.......blimey I was not expecting that. The postman had just arrived while I was making a cuppa early this morning, as I'm flicking through the magazine, still in my pj's and drinking my tea, there it was......my card, I gave an almighty yelp, practically choked on my tea before showing my hubby and kiddies. Talk about being gobsmacked, not to mention totally chuffed to bits.........pmsl!!!!!

and here's the card in question, I know I haven't long posted this on my blog with all the details a little further down, if your interested. The papers are a mix of Stampin Up and Basic Grey, not Papermania as mentioned in the Magazine though.

Well that has so made my day, week, month even maybe year.......sorry just had to share my excitement with you all, hope you don't. I'm still in shock and grinning like a Cheshire cat......hehehehehe!!!!

...... since I last visited Blogland. A very belated Happy New Year to you all, I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. We had such a lovely time, it was great to chill out and relax with my gorgeous kiddies and hubby. To be honest that's the main reason why I've not been around lately, I realised over Christmas just how much time, not to mention money....lol, I spent last year crafting, so I've decided to cut back a lil on both accounts this year, hence the reason for me not being here that often. Mind you stopping buying crafting stash hasn't kicked in yet.....pmsl.

Anyways, here's a few cards that I made weeks before Christmas but didn't get around to posting them

For my cousin, from his mum (my Aunt), she wrote the verse herself, apologies for the poor piccie.

Well that's my first card for 2010 done...whooooo hoooooo, never thought I'd get back into crafting with the amount of time I've had away from it what with Christmas and the kids off school with the weather. I have received some fabby DT parcels from the ever so lovely Tracy at Dies to Die For, thanks you so very much my luvly, so maybe I'll be back soon with some more cards to show.

On a sad note, I have decided to step down from being part of the Design Team over at Stampin for the Weekend, it was a very hard decision to make, as all the girls have become such wonderful friends, but I just felt that I was letting them all down, especially the last few weeks where I haven't been able to commit to the challenges or commenting on the entries. I'd like to say a humungous thank you to Kimmi for having me part of the fabby SFTW family and for all the hard work she does each and every week, your a lil gem...mmmmwwwahhhhh.

Cor what a long post, I seem to be making up for lost time hey........lol!

What Vicki Means

You are very hyper. You never slow down, even when it's killing you.
You're the type of person who can be a workaholic during the day... and still have the energy to party all night.
Your energy is definitely a magnet for those around you. People are addicted to your vibe.

You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing.
You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long.
You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start.

You are very open. You communicate well, and you connect with other people easily.
You are a naturally creative person. Ideas just flow from your mind.
A true chameleon, you are many things at different points in your life. You are very adaptable.

You are a seeker of knowledge, and you have learned many things in your life.
You are also a keeper of knowledge - meaning you don't spill secrets or spread gossip.
People sometimes think you're snobby or aloof, but you're just too deep in thought to pay attention to them.
